2.8 Fight for Justice: Unequal Protection and the 14th Amendment

sued the City of Torrington for violating her rights because they
did not protect her from her husband’s abuse as they consistently
refused to seriously respond to domestic violence.

Tracey Thurman could or should have sued the city of Torrington for
violating her 14thAmendment Rights, we should probably understand a
little something about the US Constitution.
